My outsider's guess is that whoever was making decisions at that level was high on their own supply and decided that a staged rollout would result in time where they weren't protecting all those other machines from imminent and certain catastrophe.
I'm still awestruck that any engineer would be willing to ship code in that setup, though I guess its also possible that they were being misled about how much testing was going on at QA.
- ethbr1 2y agoThat was my initial reaction too. Given it's a security product, you'd want everyone protected on Day 0 that you have a new release, no? Except on Day -1, no one was protected. So what's magical about the day CrowdStrike decides to ship an update? I can imagine there are possibly scenarios where mass-release would make sense (aggressive vulnerability spreading rapidly), but that can't be every day, can it?
